“Hana was amazing! Extremely responsive, sent pictures and videos of my little Oliver every check in. It was clear that Ollie was enjoying time with his new buddy! Thanks Hana”
“Shera was amazing! I have a feisty cat and she was able to handle him well and make sure he was fed and taken care of. She also watched my dog and we came home to a happy puppy and no messes!”
“Stephanie was a perfect fit for me and my animals. Her experience as a groomer and pet sitter was evident immediately as most of my pets warmed to her during the meet and greet, the others taking just a visit or two to overcome their concerns. Stephanie communicated regularly and made sure I knew if anyone was acting out of sorts. I will definitely be a returning customer as I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job.”
“I can’t think of a more loving and capable caregiver than Brittany! Brittany did an amazing job with my Scarlett! My dog took a liking to Brittany immediately and she just connected with her so well. Brittany was extremely communicative, friendly, and very professional. We will be using Brittany regularly in the future for all our pet caregiving needs, and we would recommend her to anyone!”
“Hannah is a really great cat sitter! What a relief to know that my two kitties are being watched and taken care of in my absence. So glad I found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals all throughout my life. Also been the person my family and friends can count on to take care of their fur babies as well! Whenever your pups need me, I will be there! My schedule is very flexible which helps me take the time to be the best your pup needs. I will always make sure that your pups are taken care of by asking how to best handle them and what their routine usually looks like.

“Great :)”
“Shalik has taken great care of my boy a few times now. Each one of my dogs have different medical issues as they are all senior dogs. In Addition, my rescues has alot of fears so slow introductions are best with him. I was worried my rescue would not accept a new person caring for them but Shalik came over more than one day to get him to be comfortable with him. Shalik was very patiently and kind. He was knowledgable on how to handle more challenging situations. I feel very comfortable leaving all three of my babies with him knowing they are in good hands. I will definitely call upon his services in the future. Thank you Shalik!!!”
“I can’t recommend Deb enough! We use her every time we go out of town - whether planned or last minute. She is incredibly reliable, informative, and our dogs love her. She always makes sure to attach a summary of her visit and several photos.”
About: Although I don't own dogs, I love them and have dog sat for friends and family. I ejoy going for nice long walks, or shorter if they fatigue easily. I try to make play time fun (running, jumping, playing with toys). I have learned to read their body language and adapt play time to their needs. I will take care of your fur babies with the care and love that I would like mine to be cared for. I am currently studying and can adapt my schedule fairly easily. I can be there on weekends, and even holidays if I know in advance. I can understand if pets are scared and can gain their trust without creating stress to them. I will make sure doors/windows are closed and can crate cats and dogs easily if needed.

15. Laia B.
“Laia is my sister, and I can say without a doubt that she will provide the safest, most loving care to any pet entrusted to her. From the time she was little, her love for animals has always shone brightly. She has an incredible way of connecting with them, whether it's her own beloved cats or any animal she meets. I’ve seen her go above and beyond to ensure her pets are happy, healthy, and loved, treating them as if they were her own children. She’s not just a pet owner, she’s a true animal lover with a heart full of compassion. Laia has always been the most caring and considerate person I know. She has a gentle spirit and a natural warmth that animals are instantly drawn to. Whether it’s patiently coaxing a shy cat out of its shell or taking the time to play and engage with a high-energy dog, Laia has the perfect balance of patience, empathy, and love. As someone who has entrusted her with the care of my own pets, I can personally vouch for the peace of mind she brings. Laia is incredibly responsible and attentive, always making sure that every need is met, whether it’s a special diet, extra playtime, or just some quiet cuddles. She goes out of her way to ensure that not only the pets but also their owners, feel comfortable and confident in her care. What makes Laia truly exceptional is the love she gives. She genuinely cares about the well-being of every animal she encounters, treating each one with the utmost respect and kindness. She is truly dedicated to making sure every pet she cares for is safe, happy, and loved. In short, Laia is the sweetest and most caring person I know, and any pet in her care is in the best hands possible.”
